Helping to capture memories of life one photograph at a time.
With 5 years of professional photography experience, I fell in love with capturing moments in time forever.
Over 15 years experience in pageantry involving being a contestant, judging, and coaching, 4 years experience modeling runway fashion at New York Fashion Week, as well as being nominated as Plus Size Model of the Year for 2021.
A recent graduate of Dakota County Technical College, professionally trained with an associates degree in Photography along with a minor in entrepreneurial business, I specialize in headshots both professionally and within the pageant world. Additionally, my expertise extends to studio portraits, family sessions, senior/graduation, and natural light photography.
When I am not taking pictures, I am an advocate for mental health awareness. Utilizing my platform, I aim to help educate and end the stigma against severe mental illness. Outside of photography, you'll often find me enjoying the outdoors on a lake, engrossed in a captivating book, or embarking on my next adventure!

I began to have a passion for photography as a child. I started photographing whatever I could find around me and being proactive in capturing experiences within my life. As a child I saw my great uncle taking photos at every family gathering, capturing the history and memories of our family to share with future generations. Growing up I always associated the act of photography as a way to create a physical memory. I want to transfer that idea to other people and help them create a way to capture memories and other life experiences forever. Throughout high school I took the opportunity to participate in film photography and ended up falling in love with the process of developing photos. It increased my passion and appreciation for photography even more. Growing up I always had the dream of being a professional photographer. As I have gotten older, I have gained the courage to chase this dream and make it a reality.
